I’ll never forget how once my ex joked I “live under a rock” and when I asked how he showed me a Snapchat reel of “hot celebrity gossip,” after which he pointed out I don’t keep up with any of it. I really dated that that’s so embarrassing

#If anything I’m trying to get AWAY from that #I don’t dislike keeping up w pop culture but at this point id rather be reading a book watching documentaries learning something new #Idc if it sounds pretentious bc it’s true #I don’t like using the term “low vibrational” bc i don’t have to be spiritual not to consume what’s essentially brain trash #Do I judge people for being too invested NO you do you. But beyond very popular pop culture headline I really would rather be out of the #Loop #id just rather be consuming healthy brain food #And it amazes me how he full chest thought that keeping up w vain stuff like that is him being in the loop. Never again <3

The agony of wanting a good gyro but there not being any good Greek places nearby

#it's so hard not to be picky abt your country's food. I'm so sorry. it has to make me have a Ratatouille moment for me to buy it #as pretentious as that sounds lol #im the same way when i go to greece tho its like damn there are NO good burgers around here #even the fast food is like. im sorry but goodies is mid. cant believe you have to drive 2 hours to gay ass lamia to get mid #was it even lamia i might be misremembering. whatever doesnt matter #crazy that i used to think that was like a big city when i was a kid LOL

People can unquestionably be deeply weird about food (see: recipe bloggers who are more about conspicuous consumption than actually good recipes; people who leave comments on recipe blogs about how fruit or god forbid carrots are unhealthy because - checks notes - they contain too much sugar; tr*dwives trying to politicize photos of bread; Silicon Valley guys selling fad diets). I find this as annoying as anyone (v possibly I find it more annoying, as a person who likes to cook!). However I also find it annoying when people act as if the act of cooking elaborate (or even not-so-elaborate) meals is in and of itself something weird and snobbish. Cooking is like the single most accessible hobby bro. The end product is food and you kinda need that to live, and also it’s often cheaper to make things yourself assuming you can afford the time cost. “God save us from people who make pasta sauce from scratch, why would anyone do this” well you see, sometimes people have hobbies. Sometimes people enjoy the process of creation as much as the thing itself, even. Sue me for finding joy in the stuff I’m compelled to put in my face to stay alive I guess

#culinary adventures #my posts #also sometimes people rag on ‘fancy’ (unfamiliar) food in a way that’s like… #‘i’m complaining about foreign films and framing it as anti elitist but really it’s giving straightforward xenophobia’ #sorry i’m still not over the person who said it was pretentious to make beans from scratch when canned food exists #you realize it takes a grand total of two minutes to put dry beans and spices in a slow cooker which i bought for $5 at a yard sale #they are ready the moment i step through the door from work AND they are cheaper AND they are tastier. win/win/win

Sir, This is an Applebee's

Hannibal and Will have a toxic tradition of going out to dinner on the Mizumono anniversary. Will makes Hannibal take him to a terrible chain restaurant and pay for microwaved, mass-produced food with stupid theme names. But Hannibal does stupid monologues through the whole evening. Like...

Hannibal, extremely plaid: Does not the humble pollinator, in his industry, among the bright blossoms, bless us by his vigor with the fruit of the divine? With the sweetness of light?

Server, weirded out: Uh...welcome to Applebee's?

Hannibal, continuing in paisley: Ah, yes. The bee does indeed bring forth the apple as part of the sacred dance; and truly, we have been in paradise together. Tell me, Will; had we not wandered in the garden, sampled the forbidden fruit...would we be here in the bower of apples, tonight?

Will, bitterly: It's our anniversary.

Server, brightly: Oh! Congratu--

Will: no

Server: ...menus...

Hannibal, pinstripes: The Ouroboros is traditionally depicted consuming his own tail; however, Celtic imagery incorporating knotwork brings to mind--

Will: YOU STABBED ME.

Hannibal, plaintive: Because my heart was broken.

Will: ...I'm gonna get a well-done steak and put ketchup all over it.

Hannibal, sobbing: Wilhelm, you're no Teddy Graham, you're a monster.

Server: ...need a few more minutes...?

Will: HE WANTS THE LOADED POTATO BITES.

Hannibal, playing Pagliacci on his phone: The potato, or pomme de terre in French, the "earth apple"...

the thing is cooking is a need. you have to do it at least occasionally and if what you made isn't good, too bad. this is your food. you made it, now consume it

but baking? baking you do out of love. you measure out your ingredients, put them together in the right order, and if you did it right, get rewarded with a home that smells as good as your (your!) creation tastes. there's enough to share; to bring over to a friend, or to save for later. and if it doesn't turn out right you retrace your steps and find out what you did wrong, what could be better. and you try again. it feels like love

​cooking is for survival which could be love but isn't. baking is for fun for enjoyment for learning patience and following instructions for your own good but veering off when you know better and reaping the rewards of the process

#soooo pretentious but i was thinking and this is what the difference feels like to me #it could be different i could see it in a different light but i don't.. blame it on having a sweet tooth ig #ben.txt #food

I need to replay dsaf 1 and 2 honestly it's a shame I haven't made a proper rambling post about the fact they literally gave Steven a fake wife (❓ why?) and then recycled that fucking thing and gave it to his former employee (⁉️ AGAIN, WHY?).

#luly talks #early installment weirdness perhaps i mean dsaf 1 was mental but then the peter it's #there's something #it's so hard for me being an academia brained fan and not caring about a character like #I'm failing at my job because im a little hater 💔💔💔💔💔 #IT IS LITERALLY NOT EVEN HATE I JUST. DON'T FEEL ANYTHING FOR THAT MAN <//3333 #BUT THIS IS THE EXACT KIND OF THING I'D BE ANALYZING LIKE THE PRETENTIOUS LITTLE GUY I AM BUT #I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY!!!!! #aside from pointing out it's fucking mental and hilarious like bro c'mon. why didn't they give him a new picture fucking assholes. what's #their fucking problem #i guess it'd signify how lazy they were getting? i mean one gen later they just refused to reprogram em altogether #but even besides that just the. #there's. like steven is just. i. ☹️ #i wanna put him in a food processor </3333

Seeing any post that complains abt fandom "prioritizing shipping" and "never talking about the plot" is very funny to me because dead serious this is the only real "fandom" I participate in. I see people explore sexuality and gender with these hat men; some people, myself included, use it as like, a vent for repression and homophobia and gender dysphoria and shit and whatever. But according to populartumblrfunnyman101 5000 ten-paragraph genuine emotional heavymedic essays are worth one post about Sniper eating his gun

#because sniper eating his gun actually talks about THE PLOT and isn't dumb romance for girls #overall i have an issue with romantic storytelling being treated as like. some kind of junk food that isn't REALLY artistically worthy #and i think it's incredibly pretentious and annoying to look down on a bunch of gay people who want gay romance and treat them like idiots #who should Get A Life outside of love ('stop forcing it down our throats') #BUT it's funny to just associate it with the one 'fandom' i'm actually in which is about arguably the dumbest video game of all time #tf2 #team fortress 2 #open mick night

Do you like Tim Hortons' breakfast wraps? Of course you don't, they're fucking disgusting and the egg is ALWAYS grey. But do you like the sauce they use in the wraps? …even if you don't, I made a copycat that is even better (in my humble opinion). Simple but tangy and easily adjustable if you want a little more kick in your breakfast wrap/sandwich sauce.

(the harsh kitchen lighting will never do it justice just trust me)

All it takes is:

1/2 cup mayonnaise for the base

1 tbsp ketchup

1 tbsp (or more!!) of red curry paste (hot sauce might work as well)

1 tbsp paprika (feel free to go ham tho)

1 tsp garam masala

1 tbsp onion powder

a squirt of lemon juice

salt to taste

And that's it! These are all estimates rather than exact measurements of course, and you're gonna wanna taste test this a lot while making it. It fucking rules on simple egg and bacon breakfast wraps.

#food #sauce #sauce recipe #recipe #idk what else to tag this as also sorry if these tags look pretentious lmao im just. happy abt this simple little sauce #i want ppl to see it

I love when restaurants try to claim thier food is fresh.

Like unless that tomato was picked off the vine ten minutes ago don't try and tell me it's fresh.

#this is a joke i know about food preservation and stuff #but also there are probably some really pretentious restaurants that actually do this

[satvrdayy]

hey chat why does every time a fandom assigns a character a hozier song it never really seems to fit the character in the context of the song like ever. please someone tell me. like it doesn’t hurt anyone really i’m just kind of a hater and a little pretentious and it’s always characters that i like and am very normal about.

#no shame to anyone involved this is entirely a me problem because i am a hater and i am pretentious #i’m willing to admit it!! #and i’m glad people on the internet are having fun in a way that doesn’t hurt anyone (except me) #and listening to hozier #i love hozier #just food for thought #hozier

OR maybe he wouldve said if youre not going to make this very specific one im looking forward to then dont bother i dont want you #wasting the time and effort and then she wouldnt have been mad. or maybe she wouldve. ppl do get weird about that kind of thing #maybe saying that wouldve been a crime too. guess that dumb asshole shouldve shut up and eaten his stupid cake and enjoyed it and said #nothing. a recipe for happiness #anyway. hot take ig stop putting nuts in desserts. alllergy havers will prolly thank you but you know who else will thank you? #every day i see takes about food that make me think i really should be more of a picky bitch eater on maim to knock yall pretentious #food fuckers down a peg tbh. every day i resist the urge but god how yall test me. let me be the judge on a cooking show. #weird assholes who are rude abt ppl having allergies or sensory issues: come here. im going to break you #anyway more of us picky bitches who are picky just for like. casual reasons. we should he loud picky bitches on main. if a cook or baker or #whatever can accommodate my picky bitch ass thats difficult to feed for no reason we can be sure they can accommodate allergy havers #and ppl w medical restricted diets. if they can be gracious about me just not vibing w the food then they can def be gracious about more #sensitive reasons. yea i could choke down the food i dont like probably. it wouldnt make me throw up or send me to the hospital. but why #should i? if youre an asshole to me about simply not liking your shit then why the hell would i feel safe disclosing medical info to your #bitch ass? why would i trust you to follow it? and not try to sneak some shit in bc you think you know better about food? #anyway #picky eater rights. let ppl be picky for no apparent reason. cos the ppl who have uwu Good Valid Reasons(tm) dont fucking owe you that #explanation
